With that, we end our coverage of the women's Hundred for the day. Brave are into the final, as Superchargers and Fire contest for the second spot. Anyway, don't forget, the men are in action too today. Things are spicing up there, as we direct you to that game. Thanks for joining us here though. Goodbye and take care!
Dani Wyatt is the Match Hero for her 60 off 32 balls: "To lift that trophy will be a dream come true. We know how she (Shrubsole) bowls"
5.05pm So the eight-wicket win means Brave confirm a direct entry into the final. It was a comprehensive win, with 119 chased down with 28 balls left. A second-wicket partnership of 93 - off only 45 balls - between Bouicher and Wyatt meant Originals had little chance of a comeback, despite having run Mandhana out early. Originals lost their captain Ecclestone to a shoulder injury just before the match began, and that must have hurt, even as they were only chasing a consolation win.
